Amukelani's POV
I wake up and do my morning routine and decide to wear black leggings and a black long sleeve vest and black sweater with black Nike sneakers. My favourite colour is black so most of my wardrobe consists of dark clothes except my work clothes.
I go to the kitchen and make myself some breakfast. After eating i tidy up the house and make sure everything is in its right place. I take my suitcases and put them in my car. I lock the penthouse and go past the mansion to fetch Jessica.
I go inside and I'm met by my favourite person in the world, Thuli. Don't bother asking if it's based on a true story or is it just another day of experiencing my sarcasm. "Hi." I greet. "Hey." she says. I see she's still salty after what happened but its fine I'll let her be for now.
I go upstairs and go to Michelle's room. I knock on the door and i hear a come in. I go inside and the minute she sees me, she hugs me. "Heyy." I greet. "Oh my baby. Are you okay?" she asks. "I'm okay mami dearest and you?" "I'm good." "So where you going?" "Home where I belong." "You don't belong here no more." "I'll be back Tuesday don't worry."
"And Jessica is going with you?" she asks. "Yeah. But she is going to show them her pregnancy so I thought lets make it a one way stop to Joburg." I say. "Can I join you?" "What are you going to do?" "I have a family remember." "Yeah I know. We leaving in the next two hours pack up." "Where am I going to sit?" "Private jet chronicles." "Ohh lala. Get out of my room and let me get ready."
I get out and i bump into Kuhle. "Hey." I greet. "Hi. What are you doing here?" he asks. "I'm here to pick up my associates cause we going to Joburg." "And they leaving me behind with her." "Kick her out if you hate her that much." "No. It's fine I'll manage." "Say hi to Slindo for me." "Why don't you come?" "In case you have forgotten, I'm banned from seeing your daughter cause I'm a man stealer. But can you sneak her in for two seconds maximum." He nods and i walk to Jessica's room.
I knock on the door and i hear a come in. I enter the bedroom and i see her still packing. "Michelle is coming with us." I say. "She is also going to see her family?" she asks. "Yes she is." "The more the merrier I guess." "Uright?" (Are you okay?) "Yeah. I'm just nervous on how its going to go down when I arrive."
"Are your parents psychotic?" I ask. "No they understanding people." she says. "Then you don't have to worry about anything." "I know but then we agreed that i will get married first before I have kids." "Were you born out of wedlock?" "Yes." "Tell them I'm following your footsteps after this I'll get married." "Then i get the beating of my life." "I'm giving you solutions to problems and you still complaining."
"Your solutions involve impulsive thinking sometimes." she says. "I thought this answer through so its not impulsive." I say and she chuckles. "What's going on between you and baby mama?" "I am not having an affair with her." "You swing both ways." "No. I'm straight as hell and i enjoy riding dick just like you cause look you pregnant." She throws her pillow at me and i duck it. "You annoy me." We chuckle.
"There is nothing going on she just isn't feeling my energy." I say. "And you ain't feeling hers cause she ain't feeling yours." she says. "Smart child." "I wonder how he is going to survive these next few days without us." "He must go to the club and meet a chick to take home." "Such nice advise." "I know I'm the best of the best despite my impulsive thinking."
"Okay I'm done now let's go put these bags in your car and I'll eat before I leave." she says. I help her carry her bags and we put them in the boot. We walk back inside and go to the kitchen. I sit on the bar stools and she opens the fridge to take out ingredients to make food i think. Slindo runs to the kitchen and hugs me and i pick her up.
"My beautiful princess." I say and she giggles. "Aunty I missed you." she says. "Ncoo I missed you too. Sorry I haven't made time for you it's just that work is busy but I will make it up to you one day." "Okay aunty." "How are you?" "I'm fine." "Are you happy mommy is back?" She nods. "As long as you are happy aunty is happy but I promise I will see you soon." "Okay aunty." I kiss her forehead, cheek and nose and she giggles.
"Who stole my yoghurt?" asks Jessica. "I don't live here so you asking the wrong person." I answer. Thuli comes in eating yoghurt and i didn't have to guess whose it is cause the look on Jessica's face says it all. Let me watch drama unfold in the comfort of my kitchen. "Go to your dad then I will see you soon. I love you." "I love you too." she says and kisses my cheek. She wiggles out of my grip and goes upstairs. Didn't want to expose her to fights.
"Thuli why did you take my yoghurt?!" shouts Jessica. "I didn't know it was yours. I know that the food thats in the fridge is for everyone." says Thuli. "Girl you know i always eat the yoghurt and nobody does so since when do you like it." "I've always liked yoghurt boo it hasn't changed." Jessica closes her eyes and meditates for a minute or two. It's about to go down.
"You know what I've been quiet for the past few weeks letting you get away with certain things but now you have taken it too far." says Jessica. "What are you gonna do?" asks Thuli. "Darling, if you think I'm going to be ghetto like you then you wrong. I will not physically touch you but I'll get you one day and it won't be nice."
Where is my glass of wine when I need it the most? Thuli rolls her eyes and walks away. "That bitch is testing my fucking patience." says Jessica. "Woah, Mayweather you will get her just not now and we will buy more yoghurt when we go to the airport." I say. "But I want it now." "Hai pregnant woman I said we will buy it calm down." She rolls her eyes and starts crying.
Oh grot here comes the waterworks. Why do hormones exist? "I'm ready." says Michelle. "Finally! Lets go buy your friend some yoghurt before she annoys me with her tears." I say. "Okay." I help her carry her bags and we put them in the boot. We say bye to Kuhle and hope he survives these few days without them. I hope he really does survive on a serious note.
We drive past the garage and we buy yoghurt and Jessica is happy. Now that's done we drive to the private strip and we take our suitcases. The air hostess takes our bags and puts them in the plane. "How rich is your family?" asks Michelle. "Million dollars cash rich." I answer. "I am enjoying this million dollars cash rich lifestyle." I laugh.
We get inside the plane and sit down. The air hostess serves us drinks and snacks and we thank her then the plane takes off.
"So why doesn't baby mama like you?" asks Michelle. "You should be asking baby mama herself." I say. "I understand why you don't like her." says Jessica. "What did she do?" asks Michelle. "That cow took my yoghurt knowing very well I'm the only one that eats it and then yena she has the nerve to say she eats it too like bitch who are you." says Jessica.
"What did Kuhle see in her?" asks Michelle. "You gotta admit she is drop dead gorgeous." I say. "That's the only thing I'm admitting too." says Jessica and we laugh. "You know sometimes when you go out, you don't go out with the personality but you go out with the looks." I say. "Makes sense."
"Maybe she is smart." says Michelle. "Probably. She just has a stinking attitude." I say. We continue talking about random things until we land. We get out of the plane and i call an uber for the both of them. The uber comes and we say our goodbyes and they leave. Mzwa finally arrives and gets out and takes my suitcases and puts them in the boot.
"I missed you man." I say and he chuckles. "I know I am of greatness." says Mzwa and we chuckle. "You talking bullshit but anyways how are you?" "I'm okay and you." "I'm good as you can see." "I see and you have the Durban glow." "Milk, honey and almonds sweety go a long way." We chuckle and get inside the car and he drives off.
We get to the gate and they punch the code and i put my fingerprint on the screen. The gate opens up and we go through the driveway. I actually missed home just not the people or specifically a person whose name won't be mentioned.
Mzwa helps me with the suitcases and we get inside the house and take my stuff to my old bedroom. Its still the same as it is the last time I left it, just clean. They said it will be utilized again when I give them a grandchild but since that's not happening anytime soon it will be mine when I come this side.
I thank him and i go back downstairs. There is no one here. I already told them I'm coming today and I'll be staying in a hotel if I feel like it if not I'm coming home. But since I didn't feel like paying money i just came here. I start making dinner for them.

I wake up and go downstairs and find them sitting in the living room. "Your most successful daughter is in the building." I say and we laugh. "Wena with this 52 line nickname." says Aphiwe. "It is true." He stands up and we hug each other. Aphelele and Ayanda also stand up and hug me.
"We missed you." says Aphelele. "I know I am irresistible after all." I say. "The correct answer is I missed you too guys." says Ayanda. "Okay. I missed you too guys." We laugh. We move from the hug and Asanda hugs me. I'm taken aback by this rare action of kindness from her. Is she okay?
"How much do you want?" I ask. "For you too tell me you missed me." she says. "I missed mocking and making fun of you." "I'll accept that." "Are you sure you don't want anything else." "Nope." "I guess its true what they say."
"What do they say?" asks Aphiwe. "You only value something when its gone." I say. "Oh wow listen to this girl." "She ain't wrong." says Aphelele. "Thank you." "Great minds think alike." We chuckle.
I move to hug my mom. "I missed you." she says. "And i missed you too." I say. "How come you say it to her but not us." says Ayanda. "She's an adult." "Me and Aphiwe are also adults." says Asanda. "I consider you guys my peers more than adults." "Wow." says Aphiwe and we chuckle.
I move to high five my dad but he gives me a hug instead. My dad and Asanda treating me like this. This whole thing is for the war I tell you nothing more nothing less. "Guys clap hands for this person." I say and they laugh. "Dad are you sick?" I put my hand on his forehead to check the temperature but it was normal. "Nope is it wrong to give my daughter a hug?" he asks. "For you, yes it is."
"I missed you hawu." he says. "Ncoo. I missed you too." I say. "This hypocrite of a child." says Aphelele. "He bought me a car so i have every right to miss him." "Ohh money spender is in the building." says Aphiwe. "Ask and you shall receive." says dad.
"Next up is me." says Ayanda. "I cooked food for you guys." I say. "Ohh I see the pots in the kitchen." says mom. "You shall decide who will dish up." "I'll go." After dishing up we go and sit in the dining room.
"So how is the seduction going?" asks dad. "I knew you hugged me for a reason." I answer. "I did miss you." "I haven't started but I'm starting soon don't worry." "When is soon?" "Don't worry baba I'll let you know when I'm in." "Make it quick." "Sure..."
